U.S. 1795 Muskets

There are more variations in the U.S. 1795
Muskets than any other weapon in our history. When you add the contract
muskets of 1794 and 1798 it is almost overwhelming to understand. To help
with this we highly recommend George Moller’s book “American Military
Shoulder Arms, Volume 2” for anyone working with these early U.S. muskets.
It is the finest work out with a fantastic amount of research information
and photographs to show all known variations of all U.S. flint muskets and
rifles. We consider this book a must. We are using his terminology of types
to make the parts we have available easier to understand.

1795 Springfield Type III 1809-1814 (526 C)

In late 1809, the armory went back to a lock
plate with an integral forged round bottom pan and a new style trigger guard
with rounded ends.
